Seawatch-Starr Gate 06/09/11

I arrived at Starr gate at around 8.15am Frank Bird and Maurice Jones was already watching so I went and joined them, Frank had already had a few Fulmar and a Manx Shearwater. Around 5 minutes later frank shouted manxi and there just behind the surf was the first Manx shearwater of the day. Not long after he shouted Fulmar there's another first for the day and a fylde tick for myself. There was a steady passage of seabirds in the 3 hours watching.
Here are the full list of birds seen
5 Fulmar (I seen 3) South
18 Manx Shearwater South
10 Gannet North
4 Kittiwake South
